Dear Sir Or Madam, I Would Like to Object to the Morlais Tidal Array

Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to object to the Morlais Tidal Array planning application on the following grounds:- Research by Morlais has shown a high mortality of seabirds such as guillemots and razorbills caused by these devices which could lead to the entire population of breeding razorbils at RSPB South Stack being wiped out and a severe reduction in the number of guillemots. These birds are already under threat due to overfishing and climate change. Other birds including puffins and gannets could also be affected. There is a lack of data on how marine mammals would be affected both by collision with blades and by noise from turbines - seals, harbour porpoises and both bottle-nosed and Risso dolphins are regularly seen in the area. It is unclear how these effects would be monitored or mitigated. 180,000 people a year visit the South Stack area, and South Stack lighthouse is one of the top visitor attractions on Anglesey with the RSPB reserve also being very popular. Many will wish to take that iconic photograph of the lighthouse from the cliffs, and the visual impact of the turbines will be extremely negative. The visual impact of this project would also affect the local tourist industry between Trearddur Bay and South Stack, and the local economy would suffer greatly, as many people use this area for holidaying, kayaking, canoeing, pleasure boat cruises, diving, fishing etc. In conclusion although I support the concept of tidal energy, I feel this is the wrong type in the wrong place. Yours faithfully, Mrs Maureen Blackburn 1, Cae'r Felin Rhydwyn Holyhead Anglesey LL65 4EQ .

Topic Paper 1 Candidate Site Assessment Update
Topic Paper 1: Candidate Sites Assessment Update 1 1 1 Anglesey & Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan May 2013 Anglesey & Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan 1 May 2013 Candidate Site Assessment Update Background This is one of a range of emerging papers prepared to offer more detailed information and explain the approach of the plan to different topics and issues affecting the Joint Local Development Plan Area. This paper will look specifically at Candidate Sites Assessment Update. It will explain the background which will help to identify the issues, objectives, options and the preferred strategy for the Preferred Strategy document, which is the first draft of the Plan. The paper will be developed as the preparation of the Deposit Plan (which will be the full Plan) proceeds and a final version will be published at the Deposit stage. The Preferred Strategy document is the first statutory stage of the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP). The JLDP shapes the future growth of communities in the Joint Local Development Plan Area and will set out the policies and land allocations against which planning applications will be assessed. The Preferred Strategy version of the Plan is also an important opportunity to comment on the strategies that will shape the final Deposit Plan. The Deposit Plan is the second statutory stage of the plan and will allow a further period of formal public consultation. The Deposit Plan will be submitted to the Welsh Government, which will appoint an independent inspector to assess the soundness of the Plan in the Examination in Public. If the inspector considers the Plan to be sound it will be recommended for adoption.
